Class Companion

The core of the product. Students get AI feedback and a score the moment they answer, or whenever you decide to release it publicly to the class after everyone has finished. Teachers can override anything the AI produces, so the final grade is always yours to set. That split matters. It keeps a human in the loop on every judgment call.

An AI tutor sits alongside students as they work, offering hints and context rather than answers. You can customize how the tutor behaves with your own instructions, which means you can push it toward Socratic questioning or tell it to stay hands-off. There's also an option for students to request an exemplary response on a question if they'd rather learn from a model.

Build assignments with AI, paste in your own, or start blank. You can mix short answer, essay, and multiple choice in a single assignment, which means one task can test recall and reasoning without you stitching two tools together. Any rubric can drive the feedback, and you can generate, import, or write one from scratch. A public library of 10,000+ assignments and 500+ rubrics means you rarely start from nothing.

Class Companion flags pasted text, calculates how similar a response is to other students' work, and spots unusual typing patterns. It also tracks how often students copy question text then leave the tab, which tends to happen right before an answer that reads a little too polished. None of them are perfect, false positives happen, and you'll still want to read the flagged work yourself.

Accommodations get set per student, not per assignment. Speech-to-text, text-to-speech, translation, extended time, and adjustable reading levels for excerpts all sit in one place. For a class with IEPs and 504 plans, that removes a lot of manual setup each time you post new work. Set it once. Forget it.

Teachers see performance and engagement tied to specific submissions, which makes it easier to spot the student who is coasting and the one who quietly fell behind. The premium tier adds AI-written summaries of strengths and gaps, shows what students are actually saying to the tutor, and breaks performance down by rubric and standard. It's the kind of view that helps you reteach before a test instead of after.

Canvas, Schoology, and Google Classroom all connect for rosters, assignment links, and grade passback. You can also export grades to CSV in one click. The integrations live on the school and district plans, so individual teachers on the free tier won't see them. Why does that matter? Because the setup work that saves the most time is exactly what sits behind the paywall.
